Barbara Grigg Collection, by Isme Larrance

"Joseph Henley, son of John and Mary (Albertson) Henley, lived in 1833 in Randolph County, North Carolina, along the Uwharrie River in the vicinity of Hills Store, the Uwharrie Meeting, etc. He first came to Indiana in 1818 or 1819 to 'Spy out the land' and left money and instructions with his brother in law, Robert Hill of Wayne County, Indiana, to enter land for him in Rush County when the Land Office opened in Brookville in 1821. He and Aaron Hill made a trip (as per a diary kept by Aaron) in 1829 to again look things over, but Joseph did not come bring his family until 1837. By the time his wife, Peninah, died in 1860 all ten of his living children were living in Rush County."
"Tristram Coggeshall, to whom the first part of the letter is written, was living in Rush County, having married Joseph's niece, Milliscent Newby. Milliscent was the daughter of Joseph's sister, Penelope, and Joseph Newby. Joseph Newby had died in January of 1831 and his widow, Penelope, removed with her son Henry and his wife Sarah (Thornburg) Newby to Duck Creek M.M. 11.22.1832. She may have been living with them, or with daughter Milliscent. At least Joseph was able to write to both Tristram and Penelope in the same letter. Joseph's son Henry, is mentioned. He was in Rush County as early as 1828, probably caring for his father's land. He entered land of his own in 1833, and in 1834 laid out the town lots of Carthage with John Clark. Joseph also mentions his brother, Jesse, who died 10th month 23, 1834, more than a year after his mill burned and 'a Most broke Him down.'
"Joseph's spelling and grammar are not the best, but no doubt high above the average for a non-Quaker farmer of his day. I like his spellings and expressions - 'Destresing, takeindown, a Mong, a Most, a Gain, Medlingwel Satisfid, Indianna, etc.' One must remember to read most the the's as 'thee' to make the letter clear.
"Reference to letter 'rote at Micajas' would be Joseph's brother, Micahah who m. Guildma Charles, and lived in Wayne County, on the road on which I now live."
